The Land of The Rising Sun and more...
So where have I been since August? Well some of it has been lack of news, some of it pure laziness and a chunk of it has been a fantastic, mind blowing trip to Tokyo, Japan. I will eventually blog about it in greater detail with pictures but looking at just 650 ish pictures and thinking I have to look at them, edit them, upload them and so I lose motivational drive...

...and then I turn on my DS Lite (JDM blue, yo!) and say "Ohayo" to Kobayakawa Rinko, my virtual JDM girlfriend from Love Plus. I have not been so involved in a game since the days of Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale but this game is a dating sim that never ends where as the former two are RPGs. Even though I can't read the Kanji and can barely make out what is being said, I am thoroughly enjoying spending time in this game and I hope with time I can learn some Japanese.
So let's rewind a little shall we?
During my trip to Japan, on the very first day my friend "Otaku" purchased an unknown game to me called "Love Plus" which happened to be ranked number 1 in the DS game charts. For the majority of the trip I teased "Otaku" about the game being an ero-ge (erotic game) but slowly I got sucked into it too, from watching on the sidelines to taking an interest in Nene, Rinko and Manaka. Nearing the end of our trip, I decided to look at DS Lites (the DSi is region locked when it comes to the latest games) but with new prices being relatively high I decided not to buy one...yet!
Sitting at the inn, the day before we fly, I flipped a 500 yen coin to decide the fate of buying a DS Lite...it landed on the 500 yen side up which meant the hunt for a DS Lite was back on. I chose to hit the bookstore (lots of second hand books and other assorted goodies such as figurines, games and consoles) and use my 300 yen discount (the story of which will be told when I cna be arsed to get round to typing up my trip). They had a few DS Lites in the store and they even had Love Plus. I purchased both and the rest is history...sort of. The story never ends...feel love 365 days.
